Equipment

  • baking dish

Ingredients
  

Marinade

  • 0.5 cup olive oil
  • 0.25 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 4 cloves garlic pressed

Salmon

  • 4 oz salmon fillets
  • 1.5 teaspoons garlic salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil chopped

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Mix olive oil and balsamic vinegar together in a small bowl.
  • Arrange salmon fillets in a shallow baking dish. Rub garlic over salmon, then pour oil and vinegar mixture over top, turning once to coat. Season with garlic salt, then scatter cilantro and basil over top. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Remove salmon from marinade and shake off excess. Discard all but a few tablespoons remaining marinade.
  • Broil salmon in the preheated oven, turning once and brushing occasionally with reserved marinade up until the last 4 minutes, until fish is browned on both sides and flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes.
